A beautiful vivid shot, with outstanding clarity, and a nicely captured pose. The catchlights in the animal's eyes are an absolutely wonderful addition, and really make this photograph for me. The tight composition with its portrait orientation is not my favourite. Though certainly beyond your control, the position of the animal ulitmately harms the overall composition in my opinion; when I think of a tiger, I think of a tense wall of muscle ready to pounce, a ferocious killer, an animal that defines action. This guy's just a big orange pussycat. :) Nothing wrong with that, certainly, but maybe my expectations have not been met, though that isn't necessarily your job. Technically, though, in general this is of course a great photograph, well captured. |
